“When another person tried to calm him, he moved away from the door and Ms. Khan ran to the front desk of the lounge, according to the statement. Mr. Rhodes followed her, got on his knees and began to bow down in imitation of a Muslim praying and shouted expletives about Islam and ISIS, the prosecutor’s office said.”

He then allegedly screamed: “You can ask Germany, Belgium and France about these kind of people. You will see what happens.”

Rhodes was charged with “assault, unlawful imprisonment, menacing and harassment as hate crimes,” and other related charges.

He claimed not to know the victim’s gender at the time of the attack.

“I guess I am going to jail for disorderly conduct. I couldn’t tell if it was a man or woman because their back was to me and they had something covering their head,” he reportedly said.
